The day before the wedding arrived quickly, and Isabella’s facial scar had faded to the point where it could be completely concealed with some makeup.
That night, Liam finally had some free time, but before he could even accompany Cynthia, he was dragged away by Vincent and others. They insisted on enjoying their last night of bachelorhood.
Although they had already obtained their marriage certificate, it didn’t hold the same significance as the wedding ceremony. It was common for young people to let loose and have some fun on the night before the wedding.
Liam had no interest in joining them. He had been working tirelessly these past few days just to bring Cynthia home. He couldn’t see any point in enjoying this ridiculous bachelor party.
He wanted to slip away to find his dear wife, but was soon blocked at the door by Queena and the
rest.
“Liam, tonight Cynthia is in our care. As the groom, you better prepare for tomorrow’s wedding,” Queena said. She playfully winked and then shut the door directly in his face.
Liam only managed to steal a glance at his wife through the crack in the door. Inside the room, a few girls lay on the bed in their pajamas, discussing mischievously about what difficulties to create for Liam tomorrow when he came to pick up his bride.
“How about we make the groom dance?” Queena’s eyes gleamed mischievously.
“That could work. Liam always appears so serious. I wonder how he looks when he dances.” Mila was curious and chimed in agreement.
“With Liam’s body proportions, he’ll definitely look much better dancing than those K–pop stars. But what dance should we make them do?” Queena furrowed her brows in thought.
Before she could come up with an idea, Mila suggested, “What about Hula?”
“Haha, that’s a great idea.” Queena leaned against Mila, brimming with excitement, bursting into laughter.
After a moment, as laughter subsided, she jokingly exclaimed, “Mila, I didn’t know you were so mischievous! Let’s have all the groomsmen do a Hula dance tomorrow.”
Growing more excited by the idea, Queena didn’t care that it was already midnight. She pulled Mila up to make dance costumes.
Cynthia listened to the conversation between Queena and Mila, silently sweating. ‘Should I give my dear Liam a heads–up in advance? she pondered.
Just as this thought crossed her mind, Queena immediately turned with a warning look. “Cynthia, dear, don’t you dare spill the beans,” she said. Then, after having Isabella watch Cynthia, Queena left with a sense of relief. Cynthia couldn’t help but find the situation a mix of exasperating and

amusing.
For this wedding, Cynthia had invited Queena, Hallet, Mila, Vincent, along with Isabella and Anthony, as the bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Initially, Isabella, being Cynthia’s only relative present from her family, hadn’t planned to have her as a bridesmaid. However, a few days before the event, Liam suddenly proposed that both Isabella and Anthony join too.
Faced with this unexpected request, Cynthia couldn’t make sense of it, especially having Anthony as a groomsman. The idea seemed odd to her. Liam simply explained that this setup would allow Isabella to stay by her side throughout.
Given Liam’s busy schedule those days, Cynthia refrained from probing further. After all, she looked forward to Isabella being her bridesmaid.
Queena and Mila returned within fifteen minutes, each holding brightly colored dancing skirts made of paper.
The group continued with a few more setup designs. By the time they finished, it was already past eleven. With an early start for makeup in the morning, they had no choice but to retire for the night. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
On the following day, the stylists arrived a little after four. Cynthia was groggily awakened to begin her make–up session. The bridesmaids also started their preparations.
When it came time to put on the bridesmaids‘ outfits, Queena and Mila wore sophisticated purple, high–necked dresses, but Isabella was handed a simple white strapless dress. Despite the simplicity, the fabric exuded elegance, not quite fitting the typical bridesmaid attire.
Concerned that her attire might not be appropriate for Cynthia’s wedding. Isabella considered changing. Before she could act, Queena and Mila blocked her, one on each side.
“Isabella, you look great in this outfit. Besides, your face is nearly back to normal now. When they come to pick up the bride later, you can wear a veil and test their observation skills,” Queena persuaded, afraid that Isabella might change her clothes.
Fortunately, Isabella found her words intriguing, so she didn’t insist on changing. Queena and Mila exchanged a secret glance, both sighing in relief simultaneously.
The bridesmaids were getting ready in one room, while the bride was in another.
After Queena and Mila finished their makeup, they quickly took Isabella to Cynthia’s room, where Cynthia already had her look prepared.
Queena hurriedly brought Isabella in front of the stylist, winking at her. “Would you please give this bridesmaid a lovely makeover?”
“Sure,” the stylist said and nodded in agreement.

Isabella then saw her take out a set of exquisite accessories from the box, matching Cynthia’s style but with a different design.
“What is going on? Although I am the bride’s sister, I am just a bridesmaid today. This is so extravagant, Isabella thought to herself. She waved her hand, expressing her unwillingness to wear
the accessories.
Queena and Mila were a bit flustered. Fulfilling this task discreetly seemed quite difficult.
As the two pondered how to proceed without giving away their plans, Cynthia circled behind them and unexpectedly slapped their shoulders hard, looking at them suspiciously. “What are you two hiding from me?”
“Nothing. Nothing at all,” Queena stammered, shaking her head, feigning ignorance.
Cynthia then turned to Mila. Unlike Queena, Mila wasn’t as smooth in her deception. Despite claiming ignorance verbally, her expression had already betrayed her.
Under Cynthia’s scrutinizing gaze, Mila had no choice but to confess and reveal the entire situation.” “Anthony wanted to surprise Isabella, so he asked for our help.”
After a moment, Cynthia finally realized what was going on. No wonder Liam suddenly arranged for Anthony and Isabella to be the best man and bridesmaid, along with that day she saw Liam at the Sullivan Group.
She had been puzzled before. These two usually teased each other when they met, making Cynthia wonder how they could have a private relationship. Now it seemed this was the reason.
Seeing Anthony put in so much effort for Isabella made Cynthia quite happy. It’s just that she wondered why they had to keep it from her. It would definitely be better with her help.
Queena seemed to understand Cynthia’s confusion and whispered, “Cynthia, don’t overthink it. You and Isabella had just reunited. You two spend all your time together and we are afraid that you might unintentionally spill the beans and ruin the surprise.”
“Yeah, that’s right,” Mila nodded seriously. Cynthia was about to argue a bit but realized that lately she had been entirely focused on Isabella, wanting to share everything with her and unable to keep.
